You get get them on the Library of Congress's (how do you punctuate that one?) website. I bought this one a few years ago and love it: http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?wpapos:8:./temp/~ammem_LYCt::

Perhaps they should have used the old syphilis one to sort of shake things up when the 'Syphilis is Back' campaign was going strong...

Awesome. There's a lot of other vintage-y design inspiration at Monoscope and Aisle One.

Rainfall.com sells reproductions of lots of old posters, maps, and other things. The WPA section has a lot of posters in the same style, some of which are even Chicago-related: 1, 2, 3.

Does anyone have a good source for buying these kinds of posters?
